Last minute Big Island trip and hike to the highest point of Kohala, the oldest volcano on Big Island. Such a beautiful trip through the enchanted forest.
It starts out as a dry hike on a 4wd road until you enter the native forest.
You want to make sure to go with clean shoes, try to minimize your footprint in the forest.
You better have a gox track loaded on your offline map because it is very easy to get lost even if you follow the ribbons on the trails.
